Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drug-eluting medical device, in particular a balloon for angioplasty catheters with drug elution to prevent restenosis of the vessel subjected to angioplasty.
  • vascular atherosclerotic lesions are most often localized at predetermined portions of the blood vessels, of which they cause constrictions or also obstructions.
  • vascular atherosclerotic lesions are typically treated in angioplasty procedures by means of catheters provided with a balloon.
  • a catheter provided at the distal end thereof with a balloon is advanced, following a guidewire, to the ostium of the narrowed artery.
  • the balloon Once the balloon has been arranged at the artery narrowing, it is repeatedly inflated and deflated.
  • the insufflation, with successive deflation, of the balloon within the artery reduce the extent of the arterial luminal narrowing, and restore a suitable blood flow in the cardiac area, suffering from the stenosis.
  • it is necessary to arrange a so-called stent which provides to maintain the artery patent also after withdrawal of the catheter and the balloon.
  • paclitaxel taxol
  • the drug must be released for a sufficiently long time span, so as to inhibit the cell hyperproliferation process caused by the constant presence of the stent implanted in the vessel.
  • the drug also induces an inhibition of the stent endothelization process, which is crucial to avoid the formation of thrombi.
  • drug eluting stent has some drawbacks.
  • the patent publication WO 02/076509 discloses drug-coated catheter balloons releasing such drug in an immediately bioavailable form during the short contact time of the balloon with the vessel wall.
  • the drug has to be, first of all, released from the balloon to the vessel wall in the very short contact time available during an angioplasty procedure. Once the drug has been released, it has to be absorbed by the cell wall, before the blood flow washes it off. Ideally, it is therefore desirable that the drug absorption occurs concomitantly to the release thereof from the balloon.
  • the drug is retained by the balloon surface in a manner sufficient to resist to all the handling operations which it is subjected to, both during the production step and during the preparation and carrying out of the angioplasty procedure, in any case, before the balloon reaches the site of intervention. This requires a perfect balance of such properties.
  • the present invention relates to a catheter balloon coated with paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated form, having an immediate release and bioavailability of the drug at the site of intervention.
  • a further object of the invention is a catheter balloon coated with paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated solvated form, having an immediate release and bioavailability of the drug at the site of intervention.
  • the catheter balloon coated with paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated or solvated hydrated form as defined before is made of a polyether-polyamide block copolymer, or "compound" thereof with a polyamide.
  • the catheter balloon coated with paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated or solvated hydrated form as defined before is made of a polyester amide.
  • the catheter balloon coated with paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated or crystalline solvated hydrated form as defined before is made of polyamide-12.
  • the catheter balloon surface is hydrophilic or made hydrophilic by treatment with a hydrophilizing agent.
  • paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated or solvated hydrated form as defined before is deposited from a urea-containing solution.
  • the balloon is inflated before coating with the paclitaxel solution and then it is folded when still wet.
  • the balloon is folded, then it is inflated before coating with the paclitaxel solution and it is finally folded again when still wet.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic side view of a device for rotating a catheter balloon during coating, according to an aspect of the invention.
  • the present invention relates in particular to a catheter balloon completely or partially coated with paclitaxel in hydrated crystalline form, having an immediate release and bioavailability of a therapeutically effective amount of paclitaxel at the site of intervention.
  • an immediate release and bioavailability is meant a release from the balloon surface in periods of time ranging between 1 second and 1.5 minutes, preferably between 20 seconds and 1 minute, and an absorption by the vascular tissue in periods of time ranging between 1 second and 25 minutes, preferably between 20 seconds and 25 minutes.
  • terapéuticaally effective amount is meant a drug amount capable of inducing a therapeutical or preventive effect against the restenosis of the treated vascular tissue in the patient.
  • site of intervention is meant the section of the blood vessel treated directly with the catheter balloon of the invention, and the adjacent portion of the tissues in which the post-procedure presence of paclitaxel can be detected. Generally, such section will extend for 2-10 mm down- and upstream the contact section with the balloon.
  • paclitaxel in hydrated crystalline form is meant paclitaxel with 2, 3 or 4 molecules of water of crystallization.
  • This crystalline form of paclitaxel can be obtained by dissolving paclitaxel in an aqueous solvent, by completely or partially wetting the balloon surface with such solution, and by letting the solvent to evaporate to a formation of a crystalline layer having a white, homogeneous, or partially inhomogeneous appearance.
  • aqueous solvent a mixture of solvents selected from acetone/ethanol/water, tetrahydrofuran/water, methanol/water, acetone/water, ethanol/water, acetonitrile/water, DMF/water is preferably used. More preferably, the solvent is a 9:1 tetrahydrofuran/water mixture or a tetrahydrofuran/water mixture with ratios ranging between 9.5:0.5 and 65:35, or an acetone/ethanol/water mixture in which the organic solvent is present in amounts not less than 50% by volume relative to water.
  • the concentration of paclitaxel in the solution may range from 4 to 6 mg/ml, preferably about 5 mg/ml.
  • the balloon wetting step can be performed in several ways, known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, dipping the balloon into the paclitaxel solution, spraying the paclitaxel solution on the balloon, or depositing the paclitaxel solution on the balloon by means of a syringe, a micropipette, or other similar dispensing device.
  • the balloon can be wetted with the paclitaxel solution in a deployed and inflated condition, or in a folded condition. It has been observed that in this second case also, the paclitaxel solution penetrates by capillarity under the folds, so as to form a drug depot which remains protected during the introduction step of the folded balloon into the blood vessel by means of the catheter, until reaching the site of intervention and the inflation thereof.
  • Methods are also known to selectively coat the area under the balloon folds, leaving the outer surface substantially free from the drug.
  • Such methods can comprise, for example, the introduction into the balloon folds of a cannula bearing a series of micro-nozzles, through which the paclitaxel solution is deposited on the inner surface of the folds.
  • Such a method is described, for example, in the international application No. PCT/IT2007/000816, filed on November 21 2007 , the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • the folded balloon will preferably have 3 to 6 folds.
  • a preferred wetting method for the balloon is the deposition of the paclitaxel solution on the folded balloon surface by means of a syringe, micropipette, or other similar dispensing means.
  • the dispensing means will be made to slide on the surface from an end to the other one, and vice versa, while rotating the balloon around the longitudinal axis thereof, so as to establish a zigzag path.
  • the dispensing means will be made to slide on the balloon surface starting from a substantially central position relative to the longitudinal extent thereof, and it will be made to slide towards a first end thereof and, subsequently, towards the second end thereof, so as to establish a substantially zigzag path.
  • the coating step is performed directly during the manufacturing process of the balloon catheter and the coating step is indeed part of the balloon catheter manufacturing process. Therefore, the production of a coated balloon catheter according to this method is advantageously quicker.
  • step (g) The use of an already folded balloon according to step (g) is advantageous because the material may keep some memory of the folds even after inflation in step (h), so that the subsequent re-folding of step (k) can take place easily and in a short time, without manipulating too much the coated balloon.
  • the said predetermined pressure in step (b) or (h) is a pressure below the nominal pressure (RBP pressure) of the balloon.
  • RBP pressure nominal pressure
  • the said predetermined pressure is between 5 and 9 bar.
  • the inflated balloon of step (b) or (h) is preferably disconnected from the pressurised air source before coating. In such a way, the balloon is still inflated, but it is not tensioned and the coating step advantageously benefits from this state condition. In the case of long balloons, inflation step (b) or (h) is prolonged for less than 1 minute.
  • Coating of step (c) or (i) is preferably performed by delivering the drug solution over the inflated balloon surface.
  • a micropipette can be used, as described above for the coating of the folded balloons.
  • the same protocol can be followed, i.e. starting delivery of the solution from the mid of the balloon length and moving to an end of the balloon, then to the opposite end, while the balloon is rotated. It is important that substantially the whole balloon surface is wetted.
  • the rotation of the balloon is not too fast.
  • a rotational speed of the balloon during coating from about 5 rpm to about 30, preferably from about 10 rpm to about 20 rpm, is used , but different values may be set without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the delivery time of the drug solution may range from about 10 seconds to about 500 seconds.
  • the rotation of the balloon may preferably be accomplished by means of a device as shown in figure 1 and as described below.
  • Step (d) or (j) of deflation of the coated balloon is accomplished by applying vacuum to the catheter balloon opening and/or by pressing the balloon from the exterior. Application of vacuum is preferred, in particular for long balloons.
  • Step (e) or (k) of folding and re-folding respectively is performed by means of conventional devices for folding balloons.
  • folding (e) and re-folding (k) are performed when the balloon surface is still wet. This allows a better adherence of drug onto the balloon surface to be obtained.
  • the said folding (e) or re-folding (k) is performed within 20 minutes from the end of the coating step (c) or (i) respectively, preferably between 1 minute and 10 minutes, more preferably between 1 minute and 5 minutes.
  • step (f) or step (1) are accomplished by inserting over the folded or re-folded balloon a protective cover, typically a sleeve that envelops the balloon surface that has been coated with the drug.
  • a protective cover typically a sleeve that envelops the balloon surface that has been coated with the drug.

  • the catheter balloon 2 comprises a catheter section 3 and a balloon section 4, that is shown in the inflated condition.
  • the device 1 comprises a basement 4, a first motor unit 5 and a second motor unit 6.
  • Each motor unit 5, 6 comprises clamping means 8, 8' to clamp the two ends of the catheter balloon 2.
  • the distal clamping means 8 acts upon the guide wire (not shown) on which the catheter balloon is loaded.
  • the proximal clamping means 8' acts upon the connector (luer) (not shown) the catheter balloon is provided with.
  • the motor units 5, 6 are preferably brushless motors.
  • the motor units 5, 6 are synchronously operated.
  • a command and control unit 7 provides for the synchronous operation of the two motor units 5, 6. This is important, in order to avoid torsion of the catheter balloon 2.
  • One or more supporting means 9, depending on the balloon length, are also provided in order to keep the catheter balloon 2 in an horizontal position.
  • the invention relates to a catheter balloon completely or partially coated with paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated solvated form, having an immediate release and bioavailability of a therapeutically effective amount of paclitaxel at the site of intervention.
  • paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated solvated form is meant paclitaxel with 2 to 3 molecules of water of crystallization and with 1 to 3 molecules of solvent.
  • paclitaxel tends to form dimers which take in water and/or the solvent into the crystalline structure. Therefore, it is possible that the number of molecules of water of crystallization or solvent into the solvate per molecule of paclitaxel is not defined by an integer, but by a decimal.
  • a dimer can be obtained, which takes in 5 water molecules and 3 dioxane molecules: in this case, therefore, there will be 2.5 molecules of water of crystallization and 1.5 molecules dioxane per molecule of paclitaxel.

  • Paclitaxel in crystalline hydrated form was identified by IR analysis under the conditions reported in the literature, thus obtaining a spectrum which was equivalent to what has been described in Jeong Hoon Lee et al., Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 2001, vol. 22, No. 8, 925-928 .
